Newbie to analog: Hi end rigs $2-5K on used market

I last used an analog rig 15 yrs ago. I am getting a new system with the Hovland Sapphire tube amp and the new speaker system from Fab Audio (www.fabaudio.com check the news section at the bottom of the page to see a description of my system). The preamp has yet to be finalized. My musical tastes are eclectic, but alternatve rock/pop,jazz and classical (in that order) are my preference. I welcome any and all suggestions egarding TT, tonearms and cartridges.

Thanks a lot,

Mike

Hi, Twl:
I am also in the similar situation and would like to upgrade my current TT package (MMF-5). I have read a lot of your suggestions of the above combination and am thinking to buy as you suggested. One question before I take the plunge: Are they difficult to setup for a average person like me (who have only limited knowledge about TT setup, such as: adjusting Tracking force - on MMF-5, this seems the only thing I have to do)?

Thanks.

Does the $20 Phono Cartridge Alignment Tool from Turntablebasics.com work for OL silver (Rega) arm?
